People,
I have been using Fedora since the beginning and only on a few occasions
have I tried fedup or equivalent when upgrading from one version to the
next - mostly, being a bit obsessive, I have re-installed from scratch
with a XFCE Live CD and reinstalled my Qmail MTA etc etc. So, although
the initial install of the OS was always very quick, I was still
installing odd, infrequently used packages weeks and even months later.
Just now I bit the bullet and for the first time tried the new option:
dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23
and from rebooting F22 to the new F23 login prompt took just 48 minutes!
Well done and thanks a lot everyone concerned with Fedora development!
It is a great system!
During the 48 minutes I was a little anxious and kept watching the drive
LED and the occasional screen messages to make sure things were still
working but the process eventually finished happily - I did notice some
"failed" messages during the process but of what I saw it didn't look
like they were likely to bother me much - we shall see . .
Thanks again!
Regards,
Phil.
